Animal digestive systems

Below are different pictures of digestive systems of different animals, which differs from what they eat. But many of them have some things in common-the food which they eats travels from they mouth, down the oesophagus(which is the gullet),into the stomach where food is broken down by the gastric juice, down the small intestine, through the large intestine, stored in the rectum and finally out through the anus. Basically this process takes about 24 to 72 hours.
